Max Verstappen has been an untamed beast throughout the 2024 Formula 1 season. The 2024 Formula 1 season has witnessed the three-time world champion continuing his dominant streak. The Dutchman emerged victorious in four out of five races this season and, if it weren’t for his mechanical issues in Australia, he would probably have achieved a perfect sweep.
Max Verstappen also recently became the first F1 driver to secure five pole positions in the first five races of a season and seems to be in exceptional form on Saturdays. However, the Red Bull advisor believes that his driver’s impressive streak on Saturdays may come to an end at the upcoming event in Miami.
Max Verstappen has been exceptionally fast in his RB20 this year. The octogenarian revealed how different track surfaces affect the RB20 and how this could hinder Verstappen’s performance in qualifying. Only time will tell how the three-time world champion’s Saturday performance will unfold during the Miami GP weekend.
In the first five rounds of the ongoing campaign, the RB20, Red Bull’s 2024 title contender, appears to be the superior car by a significant margin. The car shows no weaknesses and has performed very well on all types of tracks that the various teams have raced on this year.
The only setback for the RB20 occurred during the Australian GP weekend, when Max Verstappen had to retire due to mechanical issues and struggled to keep up with the pace of the Ferraris and McLarens. Following this, Helmut Marko revealed that different track surfaces cause tire wear issues for the dominant RB20.
L’autrichien a également expliqué comment les différentes surfaces de piste affectent rapidement les pneus de la RB20 et comment son équipe doit aborder et résoudre ce problème. Actuellement, la RB20 semble impeccable, mais l’analyse de Marko est certainement quelque chose que les fans trouveront intrigante.
De plus, il reste encore 19 courses au calendrier et il est dans l’intérêt de Red Bull de résoudre rapidement ses problèmes d’usure des pneus. Ferrari est à leurs trousses et donc Horner et l’équipe ne peuvent se permettre aucune erreur.
